Small Glaciers of the Putorana Plateau under Climate Change

Small glaciers on the Putorana Plateau exhibit greater stability compared to larger glaciers and small glaciation forms in warmer zones, despite adverse climatic conditions. This resilience was observed through expeditionary studies conducted between 2002–2004 and 2019, which provided new insights into the regime and evolution of these glacial features against recent climatic trends. The research highlights the contrasting responses of small glaciers to climate change, offering valuable data for assessing their current state and future trajectory.
